AF Fine-Tuning Options

Fine-tune focus for the current lens.

Use only as required.
We recommend that you perform fine-tuning at a focus distance you use frequently. If you perform focus-tuning at a short focus distance, for example, you may find it less effective at longer distances.

Option	Description
[AF fine-tune on/off]	[On]: Turn AF fine-tuning on. [Off]: Turn AF fine-tuning off.
[Fine-tune and save lens]	Fine-tune focus for the current lens. Press 1 or 3 to highlight items and press 4 or 2 to choose from values between +20 and -20. The larger the fine-tuning value, the farther the focal point is from the lens; the smaller the value, the closer the focal point. The display shows the current and previous values. The camera can store values for up to 40 lens types. New values overwrite existing values.
[Default]	Choose the fine-tuning values for lenses for which no values have previously been saved using [Fine-tune and save lens]. Press 4 or 2 to choose from values between +20 and -20.
[List saved values]	List values saved using [Fine-tune and save lens]. Highlighting a lens in the list and pressing 2 displays a [Choose lens number] dialog. The [Choose lens number] dialog is used to enter the lens identifier. In the case of Z mount lenses and some F mount lenses, the lens serial number is entered automatically.

Deleting Saved Values

To delete values saved using [Fine-tune and save lens], highlight the desired lens in the [List saved values] list and press O.

- If a zoom lens is attached, you can choose separate fine-tuning values for maximum angle (WIDE) and maximum zoom (TELE). Use 1 and 3 to choose between the two.
- The larger the fine-tuning value, the farther the focal point from the lens; the smaller the value, the closer the focal point.
